Existing as a queer person is hard. I get it! I specialize in somatic and relational therapy for queer and trans adults and parents who've been through hard things and feel disconnected, small, and exhausted.

Maybe this resonates for you! You want to show up in life as your full, messy, and authentic self. You're done and you're ready for more. More connection with yourself. More liberation from old wounds. And more joy in the life you're living right now.

You: You long for a nurturing space where you can dig into themes of overwhelm, depression, relationship challenges, and anti-racism. 
Me: I will provide a space that is just for you - in which you feel seen and heard exactly as you are.

We're probably a good fit to work together if you: 
* feel exhausted and ambivalent about your job, friendships, and overall daily life 
* struggle to make room to feel your emotions, without stuffing them down 
* feel tired of putting other’s needs first 
* want someone to be with you and witness you as you explore these things 
* long to re-connect with your body and mind on a deeper level 
* desire a space that’s just for you, in which your needs are put first 
* are ready to feel seen and heard 

Together, let's get you from feeling stuck and lonely to feeling cared for, grounded, and fulfilled. It can take time and hard work, but I promise we can get you there. Let's talk.
